Teen fights come to a head across the Detroit area

Investigators dealing with unruly youths in two incidents in the area are looking for answers in one case and hoping a second case won't repeat itself.

In a piece at the Detroit Free Press by way of the Livingston County Daily Press & Argus, a 19-year-old Genoa Township man is being held for the stabbing of a 17-year-old at a party. Police say about 40-50 people were at the party and are looking for more details as to why the 19-year-old allegedly stabbed the younger man repeatedly in the head and stomach. The injuries are non-life-threatening.

In Eastpointe, WWJ reports that a neighbor calling 911 helped stop what could have been a brutal brawl between groups of teens from rival high schools. The neighbor who contacted police said he saw one student with a baseball bat. When police arrived, several of the teens ran away through backyards and side streets. Police did talk to a few of the teens who didn't run and gave them a verbal warning.
